I'm surprised at how theatrical the notice of seizure is. Would not have expected that from our usually exceedingly sober law enforcement.

- Avamander 7y agoIt looks incredibly fake. I wonder if there's a collection somewhere of these real website seizure notices.
- NeedMoreTea 7y agoPerfectly in keeping with current seizure notices. The current fashion seems to go completely overboard with agency badging. The couple of UK ones I saw crop up recently have a cliche "hacker in hat and trench coat" silhouette on similar blue backdrop, in place of the Matrix world map thing. https://www.pcmag.com/news/366221/feds-shut-down-marketplace-for-selling-access-to-hacked-serv https://www.pcmag.com/news/366221/feds-shut-down-marketplace...
- Vespasian 7y agoInteresting that the Belgian Federal Computer Crime Unit has a unicorn in its logo.
- LyndsySimon 7y agoI believe that in heraldry, the unicorn is symbolic of courage. Maybe that’s why?
- groby_b 7y agoIt has also seals of Swedish and Luxembourgois police on there, so I'd wager that's the note they put up themselves, not law enforcement.
- kmlx 7y agothat background reminds me of the matrix
- magashna 7y agoIt's pretty common, sometimes you'll see multiple countries claiming the takedown and have a few different crests.
